Microscopic Anatomy of the Bone:

system: many of these units are cemented together in order to form substances of
compact bone
...
  Lamellae: the lamellae of each osteon are cylindrical and are aligned

§   Endocytosis
•   Phagocytosis (movement of solids)
o   Energy source: ATP
o   Description: cell eating: a large external particle (proteins,
bacteria, dead cell debris) is surrounded by a “seizing foot”
and becomes enclosed in a plasma membrane sac
o   Examples: in the human body, occurs primarily in
protective phagocytes (some white blood cells,
macrophages)
•   Pinocytosis
o   Energy source: ATP
o   Description: cell drinking: plasma membrane sinks beneath
an external fluid droplet containing small solutes;
membrane edges fuse, forming a fluid-filled vesicle
o   Examples: occurs in most cells; important for taking in
solutes by absorptive cells of the kidney and intestine
•   Receptor-mediated endocytosis
o   Energy source: ATP
o   Description: selective endocytosis process; external
substance binds to membrane receptors, and coated pits are
formed
o   examples: means of intake of some hormones,
cholesterol, iron, and other molecules
